Bio and Links
Thank goodness it is time to update my bio. Less than two years ago when I first joined Find-A-Grave, I was having trouble just identifing my grandparents! But now I can proudly say not only do I know now who they were, but I actually have photos of some. To me this is a miracle, I have discovered living DeLoach relatives that were unknown to me and through their kindness the puzzle has finally come together. So I want to send special "Angel" kisses to: Sybil DeLoach Safrit, David W. Day, Linda DeLoach Pitts and Brenda DeLoach Blount. And if not for Pamela C. Kelley and Sue Smith Ferranti in AL the branches of my Smith family tree would almost be bare. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me my past. I love you Edmund, thank you for allowing me the time and understanding my need to do this.
P.S. I just want to say thank you to those who took the time to stop & leave flowers & notes for my Mom: Mildred B. Franklin, my Dad: James C. DeLoach, his brother: Fred D."Junior" DeLoach & my sweet Mother-in-law: Ana Maria Uribe. If you have a minute please stop by & visit my best friends Bonnie T. West & Desiree Holliday. Special prayers to angels, Sherrice Iverson and Joella Reaves who were taken far too soon.
Please visit the memorial left for Eugenia B. Day by her husband of 42 years, David W. Day. "Jeanie" was a beautiful woman with a zest for life, she is loved & missed by her family so much. David has become a very good friend,(also my 4th cousin, once removed) helping me trace my Georgia roots and providing me with so many photos that have helped connect me to my ancestors. Thank you, David.
God Bless All of You!

You have two memorials up for my great grandma. I know you are supposed to keep the older one, but the newer one has a child linked to it. Please delete this one.

Temple C. Pouncey, Jr.
Albert Edward Pouncey, Jr.
Albert Edward Pouncey, Jr. (1923-1979) was married, I believe, to Mildred S. DeLoach (b. 9 Feb 1923 in Texas). I am attempting to get more information about her, and to nail down the names and birthdates of Albert's children. I have no information on any children that Albert and Mildred had. At the same time, I have vital info on two children who were born to Albert from his first marriage, to wit:
Albert Edward Pouncey, III, b. 8 Nov 1948
Robert Parmer Pouncey, b. 25 Aug 1957
I thought that Albert's first wife was a Georgia Taylor, who was married to an Albert Pouncey on 15 Apr 1944 in Montgomery, Alabama. However, I came across a death certificate for an Albert Pouncey whose surviving spouse was Georgia Pouncey, and his birth and death dates do not match those of Albert Edward, Jr. Hence the confusion.
I hope you will respond with any details on the above that will help email@example.com.

DeLoach Family
Hello Susan,
I am also a DeLoach descendant. Isaac DeLoach is my 4th great grandfather via his son, Joseph Asa DeLoach, down to his son Jesse Martin "Bud" DeLoach, to his daughter Willi Jo Delaoch Moody via her daughter Dorothy Moody Henry to my mother then me.
I have a bit more info in case you didn't have it -
Isaac is the son of:
Ephraim DeLoach, born in 1777 in Beauford, SC. Died 1819/1822 in SC.
Sarah Durrence, daughter of Welcome William Durrance & Elizabeth Williams. Sarah was born in 1783/1784 in SC. Ephraim and Sarah married about 1801.
Ephraim is the son of:
Hardy DeLoach Sr, born 1735 in Old Edgecombe, NC. and died after 1820 in Old Beauford Dist. SC.
Elizabeth Hart, born 1730 in Edgefield, Saluda, SC / Edgefield Co. SC. and died 1820 in Effingham, GA. Hardy and Elizabeth married
about 1757 in Old Beauford Dist. SC.
Hardy DeLoach Sr is the son of:
William DeLoach Jr, born 1702 in Old Surry, VA South Wark Parrish, VA. and died After 1765 in Lynches Creek Kershaw, SC.
Judith Wall, daughter of Richard Wall & Lucy Grimes. Judith was born about 1707 in Isle of Wrights, VA New Port Parrish and died About 1767.
William & Judith married about 1725 in Isle of Wrights, VA New Port Parrish.
William DeLoach Jr is the son of:
William DeLoach Sr, born 1678 in Isle of Wrights, VA New Port Parrish and died 3 Mar 1746/1747 in Brunswick, VA.

He arrived as an indentured servant to Charles Taplady and served as a Tailor. At some point he anglisized his surname from DesLoges to DeLoach. It is belived that all persons in the United States with the surname of DeLoach, DeLoache, DeLoatch, or any of the other variant spellings, is a descendant of Michel DesLoges.
and Jane Griffith, the only child of Rowland Griffith, a wealthy land owner. Jane was born about 1650 in Isle of Wrights, VA New Port Parrish and died About 1719 in Isle of Wrights, VA New Port Parrish. Jane and Micheal married about 1668 in Isle of Wrights, VA New Port Parrish.

RE: Tommie & Lamerle DeLoach
Yes Susan...they are my grandparents. I have DeLoach , Crowder, and Royal family in the cemetery in Langdale, Alabama. I sent a message earlier to another findagrave person about getting some family memorials transferred to me as I have info and pictures I'd like to add and it seems such a chore to have to send to someone and them have to do it since they have so many pages they work with. I've not heard from him yet. I just thought I'd try to take the load off a little by handling my own family memorials if it's possible and those who set up the pages want me to. I've run across your name on several pages it seems. Do you set up memorials or have I just run across you because perhaps we have a common ancestor? Glad to get your note!

House Democrats are committed to creating prosperity through science and innovation, reasserting our economic and technological leadership throughout the world in the decades to come, and giving future generations greater opportunity to achieve the American Dream.
Over the last century, Americans have led the way in technological innovation with everything from the car assembly line to the PC to the Internet. We can't let China and India invent, build, and sell us the technology that will power the next century. This legislation is crucial to our efforts to keep America number one by investing in modernizing manufacturing, spurs American innovation through basic R&D and high risk/high reward clean energy research, and strengthens math and science education to prepare students for the good jobs of the 21st Century.
On December 21, 2010 the House passed the Senate amendment to the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act (H.R. 5116) by a vote of 228-130 and the President signed the bill into law on January 4, 2011. The Senate-passed measure is similar to the House-passed bill, doing the following:
- Keeps our nation on a path to double funding for basic scientific research, crucial to some of our most innovative breakthroughs;
- Creates jobs with innovative technology loan guarantees for small and mid-sized manufac-turers and Regional Innovation Clusters to expand scientific and economic collaboration;
- Promotes high-risk high reward research to pioneer cutting edge discoveries through ARPA-E and promotes job creation in clean energy; and
- Creates the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs by improving science, math, technology, and engineering education at all levels
This bill is a fiscally responsible compromise that reduces the authorization from five to three years (reducing the cost), and repeals original COMPETES programs that have not been funded. The Bowles-Simpson deficit commission singled out basic scientific research as a long-term gain for the budget, as it is vital to our nation's scientific and economic leadership.
Republicans have voted against key investments in science and innovation in the Recovery Act, ranging from historic investments in safe, clean energy, to basic research today for the cutting edge technology of tomorrow, while cynically trying to derail the bipartisan America COMPETES Reauthorization Act, critical to our competitiveness and creating good paying jobs in the 21st Century.
Fosters innovation and basic research by:
- Supporting new Regional Innovation Clusters to strengthen regional economies and advance the work in a given field by leveraging collaboration and communication between businesses and other entities.
- Reauthorizing the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy (APRA-E) which is pursuing high-risk, high-reward energy technology development. Authorized in 2007 and first funded in 2009, ARPA-E is modeled after DARPA which created a culture of innovation and lead to breakthroughs like GPS and the Internet.
- Reauthorizing and keeping the following science and innovation research on a doubling path:
- the Department of Energy's Office of Science, the single largest supporter of research in the physical sciences in America,
- National Science Foundation, which supports fundamental research and education in all non-medical fields of science and engineering, and
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Labs.
- Requiring the development of a national innovation and competitiveness strategy to strengthen the innovative and competitive capacity of the Federal Government, State and local governments, institutions of higher education, and the private sector.
- Making permanent the Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Department of Commerce, which works with businesses to overcome barriers to commercializing the results of new research and to speed the market application of the new technologies, products, processes and services that will grow our economy and create jobs.
- Authorizing cash prize awards for innovative research.
- A report last spring demonstrates the economic importance of basic research, identifying 100 companies borne of federal investments in basic research, including Google, Genentech, and A123 Systems -- employing more than 100,000 people.
- About two-thirds of basic research is supported by federal agencies, with NSF funding paving the way for the method of ranking websites by links, a cornerstone of Google.
Create jobs and supports manufacturers and industry by:
- Providing innovative technology federal loan guarantees for small- and medium-sized manufacturers -- to expand, use innovative technology, or manufacture or commercialize an innovative technology product or process -- to help them access capital to become more efficient and stay competitive.
- Coordinating manufacturing research and development carried out across the federal government.
- Providing Manufacturing Extension Partnership program centers with 50 percent of the cost incurred to run the center, up from one-third, to strengthen their financial status during this difficult economic time.
- Authorizing NSF to support fundamental research leading to transformative advances in manufacturing.
- Establishing a clean energy manufacturing and construction initiative to create clean energy jobs, promote sustainability in manufacturing and bolster energy performance and air quality in buildings.
- Directing the Manufacturing Extension Partnership Centers to inform local community colleges of the skill sets that are needed by area manufacturers, to help ensure that students have the specific job training necessary to secure a good-paying job in their community.
- Requiring a study of the barriers to the use of high-end computing simulation and modeling by small and medium size manufacturers.
Improves STEM education and ensure a prepared workforce by:
- Expanding, strengthening, and aligning STEM education programs at all levels of education:
- Updating the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program, which trains highly competent secondary teachers in STEM fields to teach in high need schools, by reducing the match requirement and allowing more schools to participate in the program;
- Support research and internship opportunities for high school and undergraduate students, and increase graduate fellowships supported by NSF and DOE;
- Encourage students studying in STEM areas to pursue teaching credentials, increasing the pool of qualified teachers for the next generation of young innovators; and
- Providing grants to implement or expand research-based reforms in master's and doctoral level STEM education that emphasize preparation for diverse careers in the STEM workforce.
- Increasing participation by underserved communities in STEM fields to strengthen and diversify the STEM workforce, for example, by prioritizing inclusion of minority serving institutions under the Partnerships for Innovation program.
What People are Saying About the America COMPETES Act
Chamber of Commerce
'The Chamber believes that H.R. 5116 would strengthen U.S. competitiveness by improving America's scientific and economic leadership, and making stronger investments in science, innovation, research and education.' [12/20/10]
National Association of Manufacturers
'Manufacturers are very pleased the COMPETES Act has passed the Senate. Our economic future relies more than ever on our ability to innovate, and the reauthorization of the COMPETES Act will help manufacturers prosper in a globally integrated and highly competitive marketplace. The COMPETES Act reauthorizes critical programs ranging from federal funding for R&D to vital education grants, which will aid manufacturers and enhance their competitiveness. The NAM thanks the members of Congress who supported this important legislation." [12/17/10]
Business Roundtable
'The America COMPETES Reauthorization Act will provide critical support for the foundations of America's science and technology enterprise. By building on the key provisions of the original statute, it will strengthen confidence in America's future, attract more young Americans into technical fields and expand the employment horizons and earnings potential of millions of new American workers. Business Roundtable is proud to have been an early and robust supporter of the original America COMPETES Act, and we strongly support its reauthorization. It embodies a positive agenda for growth that will help lift America's economy and create new opportunities for U.S. workers.' [12/17/10]
American Association for the Advancement of Science

[12/20/10]
'The America Competes Act is a thoughtful set of policy solutions that help drive innovation in the U.S. economy. COMPETES makes smart investments in research, science and education proven tools that power job creation and make our economy more dynamic in the long-run. We thank the Senate for its bipartisan support of the COMPETES bill. We now urge the House to move quickly on this important measure." [12/17/10]
Information Technology Industry Council
Through strategic investments in education, science, and research, this legislation has played a critical role in fostering high-tech job growth as well advancing a host of new technologies ranging from energy efficiency to communications and health information technology. In addition, it has proven effective in high-tech workforce development. [12/17/10]

Take the U.S. Senate, miscalled "the world's greatest deliberative body." Bills for the greater good of American workers fail repeatedly because it is impossible to get the 60 votes needed to thwart a filibuster.
You don't have to be a mathematician to know that 51 votes in a 100-member Senate is a majority. But the undemocratic and archaic Senate requires a supermajority.
This false democracy recently prevented extension of jobless benefits to 2 million Americans. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could muster "just" 57 votes.
Forty of the 41 thunderous nays came from Republicans, a sad fact that ought to be remembered in the November election.
The obstructionists say they are worried about the huge budget deficit. But the GOP is never concerned about the deficit when it comes to spending $2 billion a day to support two foolish wars and a global military empire.
What the GOP is really saying: to hell with workers.
In another damnation of Senate "democracy," a bill to allow company employees to form a union if a majority of workers sign a card passed the House by 66 votes. In the Senate it passed 51-48 – but not by 60.
The GOP cited the "sacredness' of the secret ballot and labeled the measure "un-American." These are masks. The real reasons:
Companies intimidate, threaten, coerce and harass workers in their vicious anti-union scare campaigns. They fire and demote pro-union workers. They threaten to close plants if workers unionize.
The grossly malapportioned Senate crushes democracy. Just 18 percent of the population can defeat the will of the vast majority of Americans. For example, Wyoming has two senators with a population of 500,000. California has but two with a population of 38 million.
Then there is the unfair relic in the Constitution: the electoral college. Four times it has put a man in the White House who did not win the popular vote. The most recent egregious example: Al Gore beat Bush by 543,895 people votes in 2000.
As Tocqueville noted in his classic study: "The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint."
Children of immigrants
Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO president, recently assailed America's hypocrisy on immigration and urged reform so immigrants too can fulfill the American Dream.
"Immigration reform is not just an economic issue," Trumka said in a Cleveland speech. "The way we treat immigrants is about who we are as a nation.
"If you look around Cleveland you see a city built by immigrants: Hungarians and Poles, Irish and Italians, Serbs and Croats and Jews."
Trumka deplores talk about immigrants "taking our jobs, ruining our country."
"Did an immigrant move your plant overseas?" he asked. "Did an immigrant take away your pension? Or cut your health care? Did an immigrant destroy American workers' right to organize? Did immigrants write the trade laws that have done so much harm?
"Most of us are children of immigrants."
Unions pay off
A recent study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research underlines the obvious: union members get better pay and benefits than nonunion workers.
Union members' pay is about 15 percent higher, roughly $2.50 more per hour. Union members also usually get benefits that nonunion workers lack such as employer-financed health insurance and pensions.
Badly needed truths
Reporters and columnists, ignorant of populist history, label practically every politician a populist. Alas, not so. Precious few American public figures are genuine populists like Jim Hightower. His newsletter, articles and columns relate the truth about politics and public affairs.
"In today's plutocratic, corporate-controlled economy, the most effective way for working folks to restore a measure of fairness to America's economic system is for them to unite in unions," Hightower writes. "More than 60 million workers say they would join a union – if they could."
But they can't. Bosses prevent unionizing. They don't want workers to have any say about decent wages, benefits and working conditions.
33 cheers for Solis
The hostility to unions by employers – and too many workers – ill suits the needs of working people. But somebody is trying to fix the imbalance: Hilda Solis.
Labor Secretary Solis, the brightest star of the Obama administration, is pro-labor. That is a blessing after eight years of the Bushite Labor Department being run as the Business Department.

Although they still leak, it is not nearly as bad as the studios. On the other hand these are great headphones & the noise cancellation is awesome. The bass does not kick as hard as the studios, but i kind of like that. They feel great on my head & fit around my ears nicely.

What stoped me was the horrible quality, becuase of the plastic build in the solos and studios. The executive have that enchanting beats look and now that they are made out of aluminum they are even better. The sound quality is great and in my opinion better than the Bose quiet comforts. Trust me, before theses came outI did not like/supprt beats in any way because i thought it was too high price for the headphones. Now that the executives have active noise canclation, aluminum build and look great there is no reason why this should not be your first option when buying a set of headphones in this price range! …

Noise cancellation works really well (especially on a flight) allowing yourself to be immersed in the music or a movie rather than the endless drone of engines.
Having them fold flat and in a neat little case is also great for travelling.

Decent noise cancelation, but not ideal for sound quality, and hisses
The aluminum design and styling of these is nice and they look cool, although they are a bit heavier than most headphones due to t The aluminum design and styling of these is nice and they look cool, although they are a bit heavier than most headphones due to the metal. These actually sound the best of any Beats headphones to date in terms of music. Unfortunately, the hissing sound of the noise cancel feature detracts from the fidelity and cannot be turned off.
- The Active Noise Cancellation cannot be turned off and when listening in a quiet environment, like at home, you can hear a hiss both in between tracks and when quieter music is playing. So while the noise cancellation does work when on a plane or train for example, the fact that it cannot be disabled is a major disadvantage. If you turn the switch on these headphones off, they will not play any sound at all even if you turn on the music.
On the plus side, the isolation these provide is quite good and the noise cancellation works fairly well, even when you are not playing any music, you mostly hear the hiss rather than the noise in your environment. I tried it without any music and went right up to my refridgerator as a test and I could not hear the fridge, just the hissing of these headphones.
For a long commute or plane right, noise canceling headphones can almost be a life saver and do make a difference. You will not feel as fatigued and will be more relaxed when you arrive to your destination.
- The noise canceling feature is a trade off for sure. Sonically, the bass is a bit pronounced, which I expected (sound like you have your subwoofer on all the time) and they highs are fine (not harsh, which is good), but the mids sound a bit muffled.
- These are not very comfortable to wear and start to hurt my ears and head a bit after a while, maybe because they are a bit heavier than most headphones.
- While these do not have any Red coloration on the headphones, the cable is still Red, defeating the 'executive' business person look of them.
- The slim hard case is nice, but the way the headphones fit into it is awkward and there is not really enough room for the cable in the case. You can squeeze the cable in there, but it's a bit of a kludge.
I can only recommend these headphones if you travel a lot and have a real need for noise cancelation. They would be great to use to watch a move on a plane for example or if you are in your hotel and just want to get to sleep but the air conditioner or people in the room next door are making a bit too much noise.
Skip these for serious audiophile music listening however. I also think the price is too high so what would normally be a three star review becomes a two star review do to the high price. …

Jones Follows Legacy To Alabama
July 23rd, 2012 10:13 PM║ Posted By: Josh Ward ║ Permalink
Tags: Barrett Jones, Harrison Jones, SABAN, Tide, Walker Jones
Walker Jones is the latest member of his family to decide to play football at Alabama.
The linebacker from Evangelical Christian School in Cordova, Tenn., committed to the Crimson Tide on Tuesday.
Jones will follow his brothers, senior offensive lineman Barrett Jones and sophomore tight end Harrison Jones, in Tuscaloosa. Barrett Jones was happy to learn of Walker's decision.
Proud that my youngest brother @walkerjones33 decided to join the best program in the country. Can't wait to see him in a crimson jersey.
— Barrett Jones (@BarrettAJones) July 24, 2012
Walker Jones considered other schools, including Ole Miss, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, before he committed to Alabama. Tide coach Nick Saban and his staff helped put Alabama over the top.
"It was the coaching staff," Jones told ESPN RecruitingNation. "It's probably the best coaching staff in the nation. You can tell because they're won two national championships in the last three years, and I believe that's due to the coaching and the recruiting. That was big to me."
Expectations will likely be high for Jones, whose father, Rex, played basketball at Alabama from 1982-84. But Walker Jones said he's only worried about himself.
"I see it as I have to carve my own path, and I'm excited about it," Jones said. "I'm excited to go up there and work hard, so I don't see it as following anyone's footsteps."

Vans Footwear
Vans, a titan in the streetwear industry, is perhaps best known for its footwear line. This wide collection of high-tops, lowtops, and slip-ons is inspired by skate culture and has become a cultural icon in and of itself. After Sean Penn's character wore his own pair of Vans in the 1982 cult classic "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," the skate shoes took on a life of their own, and have since been worn in countless films and skate videos. Vans Footwear is not just for appearances—it's made to be worn, to withstand extreme abuse while maintaining maximum comfort. Many famous skaters, including Bucky Lasek and Christian Hosoi, have worn custom Vans—a testament to their versatility and practicality.

During 1991, the DARPA Spoken Language Program initiated efforts to build a new corpus to support research on large-vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (CSR) systems.
The first two CSR Corpora consist primarily of read speech with texts drawn from a machine-readable corpus of Wall Street Journal news text and are thus often known as WSJ0 and WSJ1. (Later sections of the CSR set of corpora, however, will consist of read texts from other sources of North American business news and eventually from other news domains).
The texts to be read were selected to fall within either a 5,000-word or a 20,000-word subset of the WSJ text corpus. (See the documentation for details). Some spontaneous dictation is included in addition to the read speech. The dictation portion was collected using journalists who dictated hypothetical news articles.
Two microphones are used throughout: a close-talking Sennheiser HMD414 and a secondary microphone, which may vary. The corpora are thus offered in three configurations: the speech from the Sennheiser, the speech from the other microphone and the speech from both; all three sets include all transcriptions, tests, documentation, etc.
In general, transcriptions of the speech, test data from ARPA evaluations, scores achieved by various speech recognition systems and software used in scoring are included on separate discs from the waveform data.

Too expensive if you want more than 2 oz. Watery Milkshakes! – I understand that they use the 'french pot' method of making ice cream. But as a smoker, an evil one, my tongue can't tell the difference between Graeters and UDF and any brand except the bottom of the barrell.
However, my wallet can for sure tell the difference. And regardles of your taste buds, the price will prevent it from growing beyond a local brand.
I did get a milk shake at their Crescent Springs location, and it blew me away. It was no more than 8 oz and as thin as milk (whole).
I prefer to get a UDF shake, or one with lots of milk fat in the ice cream. There is a shop that has such a shake on 11th St. in Newport. (12th St. in Covington becomes 11th St. in newport after you cross the bridge spanning the Licking river.) Then drive 3 or 4 blocks, and this store is on the left, at a corner. You can't miss it!
Another place for extra rich ice Cream is in Bellview, it is well advertised.

Park Hills, KY
Yum! – My husband and I just got home from Oktoberfest. The BEST thing we ate there was Graeter's Ice Cream.
Over Rated! Over Priced! A Milk Shake is thin as 2% Milk – Graeters has this reputation that can't be shaken; no pun intended. But it is no better than UDF - United Dairy Farmers to these taste buds.
And once more, I went through the drive through and bought a Chocolate Shake, the only size they had, about 14 oz. for around $4.00 and I could not believe it has the consistency of Milk, or Water. What a rip-off...
Graeter's Ice Cream is the most delicious ice cream ever. It's Oprah's favorite. If you want good service DON'T go to the one at Kings Island or the Zoo. Has good hours and always has seats. It is way above your local ice cream shop! If you are not from Cincinnati you must go here!!
WE miss Graeters!!! Have been away for 26 years...still they are the Hallmark /standard bearer of my fave IC-worked on the avenue 1979...and – I have only home-made ice cream to compare. The best! is yours with so many flavors and ingredients to offer flavors other than ordinary.
BESTTTT ice cream! – Awesome creamy ice cream...the best
con- sadly the price. It has to be a special occassion for us
Good Ice cream? Maybe. Bad service... for sure! – We went to Graeter's in Kings Island. They made a mistake in our order and were not willing to correct it. The staff was lousy and not interested in helping the customer. Eventually only the manager was able to help us and offered some apologies. Terrible experience. Not everything is in the ice cream and you should know it.
Homegrown ice cream franchise offers familiar flavors and new favorites since 1870. – In Short
While this beloved chain also makes candy and cakes, customers usually come to the shop for the fresh, ultra-rich ice cream, which ranges from traditional flavors to the more unique black raspberry chip and Buckeye Blitz. Trademark chocolate chip ice cream is made by pouring melted chocolate into ice cream batches, so there are large, irregularly shaped chunks of rich chocolate rather than chips. Fruit sorbet is also available.
Best ice cream in the World! – I am really questioning how CitySearch does it's ratings after not even seeing Graeter's Ice Cream in the top 10 list for Cincinnati!. Graeter's is often called the best ice cream in the world by many critics and for good reason. They're signature Black Rasberry Chip ice cream is out of this world, containing soft chocolate pieces ranging from small, to gigantic pieces of chocolate that would fill your entire mouth! This is because Graeter's uses a liquid chocolate and it hardens and breaks into random sized pieces as it mixes with the ice cream. Do yourself and a favor and try the best ice cream you will ever have!
One of the best in the world – I've lived and traveled all over the world and without any doubt I can honestly say that Graters Ice Cream is among the best anywhere. From Italian Ices, to French concoctions, Graters competes with some of the world's richest and delicious ice creams. I confess to having had Graters Double Chocolate Chip shipped to me on dry ice while I lived in Hawaii. It was my birthday. One of my favorite childhood passtimes was to compete with my sisters to see who had the largest chocolate chip. We've even been known to photograph the evidence and ship it around the world. Cincinnati is spoiled!

[Video] With Your Help We Can Make The Largest Digital Camera Ever
Last year we had a meet up in Arizona and I was lucky enough to meet Zeke, a mechanical engineer who works on some of the most impressive digital cameras on the planet (and off the planet). I was able to hold one of these cameras and learn a thing or two about what it can do. These large cameras are mainly used in space to take exposures that last literally hours but Zeke told me that he wanted to make one of these into a working camera that any photographer could use (on planet earth).
Zeke explained that these sensors are so incredibly expensive, his company will not be willing to spend the money to produce this camera unless they see a large enough response. So guys, this comes down to you. If you can comment below and on Youtube and share this video on Facebook, Twitter, and your personal blogs, we may just be able to convince Spectral Instruments that this could be a valuable marketing move. If this camera ever does get made. I will fly anywhere in the world to do a photoshoot with it and film a BSTV. Let's make this happen people!


text: Electric tankless is not efficient and you will NOT reach your desired shower temperature. I tried to install an electric tankless one time and the amount of work: subcontract an electrician to upgrade the panel and running 3 220V plugs was ridiculous!! That is like running 3 electric clothes dryers simultaneously!! I think you should re-think about propane powered tankless. Its a lot more efficient and you will definitely be more happy with it.

Sport Relief kicks off City's Giving Week

- Posted by Tim Oscroft/Damaris Treasure
Today marks the start of Sport Relief Weekend, with the entire nation coming together to raise cash to help change lives at home in the UK and across the world's poorest countries.
This season, Manchester City has launched an exciting new partnership with Sport Relief called Shoot for the Moon. Today we're kicking off our special Giving Week for Shoot for the Moon, with players, fans and staff taking part in all sorts of fundraising activities. All the money raised will be going to help vulnerable young people and families across Manchester.
There'll be a very special City moment featuring funnyman-impressionist Jon Culshaw on Friday night's Sport Relief extravaganza on BBC TV at around 11.30pm. It's not to be missed, kicking off over a week of events which will help make a huge difference to people around our city.
The City team will wear shirts with special Sport Relief embroidery during Saturday's clash with Stoke, and afterwards you will be able to bid for them online with all proceeds going to Shoot for the Moon. Please keep checking back on mcfc.co.uk to find out when and where they will be available.
It's not too late to sign up for the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile right here in Manchester on Sunday. Just go to www.sportrelief.com/manchester and choose to support Shoot for the Moon by joining 'Team Manchester City'. If you're going along to support family or friends, look out for staff from City In The Community, who will be running a range of fun activities around the route of the run.
Some of the most memorable shots taken by club photographer Sharon Latham will be available to buy as special limited edition prints at the City-Sunderland game; keep checking mcfc.co.uk, as well as the club's social media channels on Facebook and Twitter for more details.
During Giving Week we will be announcing partnerships with two more local charities, and CityTV will feature video clips of City's fundraising work at home and abroad. Keep your eyes peeled for news on how a party of intrepid City staff will be tackling Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, in aid of Shoot for the Moon.
It all culminates at the City-Sunderland game on Saturday, 31 March at the Etihad Stadium. There will be lots of fundraising activities in and around the ground, the players will don special Shoot for the Moon t-shirts while warming up and fans who donated £250 online will see their names around the pitchside LED boards.

Valpo Falls to Detroit 12-10 in Bracket Play at the Hilltopper Classic
Sunday, March 16, 2003Valparaiso rallied from a 10-1 deficit to tie the game at 10, but eventually fell 12-10 to Detroit on Sunday morning at the Hilltopper Classic.
Detroit scored one in the first and three more in the second before Valpo got on the scoreboard. In the bottom of the third, Kelly Silvey (Indianapolis, Ind./Bishop Chatard H.S.) singled home an unearned run to cut the deficit to three.
The Titans added six in the top of the fourth before the Crusaders scored again. In the fourth, Amanda Gilbertson (Murrieta, Calif./West Albany H.S., Ore.) singled home a run and Silvey plated another on a ground out.
In the fifth, Valpo exploded for seven unearned runs with two outs. Stephanie Reinke's (Parker, Colo./J.K. Mullen H.S.) three-run double provided the big outburst to tie the game.
Detroit came back with single runs in the sixth and seventh to provide the final margin of victory though.
Lisa Ferguson picked up the win in relief for Detroit (9-5), while Gilbertson suffered the loss for the Brown and Gold.
The Crusaders will return to action on Wednesday with a doubleheader at Western Michigan. The first game is slated to begin at 2 p.m. CST.

Dreams of summer. They're inevitable this time of year, when memories of sun and warmth are fuzzy at best, and it's hard to believe that you'll ever be able to step outside without a coat again. Moorish Paella, warm with spice and color, is a ticket out of this greyness. It tastes of warm nights in faraway places. Tartine's genius lemon cream is equally transporting: soft, breezy and positively luscious. Dinner is indeed a good time to escape.
Serves 4
4 bone-in skin on chicken thighs
4 small or 2 large links of Merguez sausage (chorizo is fine if you can't find the lamb sausage)
1/2 head of cauliflower cut into pieces
1 teaspoon caraway, ground
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon harissa
2 cups Arborio (or other short grain) rice
8 ounces tomato sauce
3 cups chicken stock
Salt to taste
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dry wine (white or rose)
1. In the morning place the chicken thighs in a plastic bag or bowl with a generous amount of salt to brine in fridge all day or at least 1 hour. Mix ground spices together in bowl with pinch of salt.
2. Cut sausage into discs and brown on each side in pan. You can leave them in links to brown as well, I prefer to cut them before cooking. Remove sausage onto paper towel lined plate and let cool. Leave fat in pan. Turn off heat if you need a few minutes to prepare next step.
3. Remove chicken from refrigerator and pat dry. Use the sausage fat and add olive oil if you need more. Over medium-high heat brown chicken skin side down for 3-5 minutes or until rich brown, turn over and brown for 2 more minutes. Remove chicken to plate with sausage.
4. Add olive oil as needed and onion to pan and cook about 3 minutes. Add dash of salt and a spoonful of the spice mixture. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes. Add more of the spice mixture.
5. Add wine and scrape bottom of pan for any bits. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add sausage and harissa and stir until harissa is well incorporated. Add tomato puree and cook for 5 minutes. Add more spice mixture.
6. Add rice and distribute evenly across the pan. Add chicken. Add chicken stock. Add the rest of the spice mixture and season with salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until rice is cooked through--I find this varies depending on the stove top--20-30 minutes. You can cover the pan if it is taking too long to cook. After it is done cooking let sit off the heat for 2-4 minutes. Serve.
Save, print, and ask a question about this recipe on Food52.

The Grocery List
Serves 4
4 chicken thighs
4 merguez sausages (chorizo is fine, too)
1/2 head cauliflower
2 cups Arborio rice
About 4 lemons (for 1/2 cup plus of juice) Meyer or regular
We bet you've already got tomato sauce, chicken stock, caraway, paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, onion, garlic, olive oil, butter, wine, salt, sugar, and eggs. If not, you'll need those, too!
1. NWB has it all figured out. First thing, pop those chicken thighs in a simple salt brine (the morning of, if you're working that far ahead). Or skip it if you don't want to wait.
2. Make the paella! The lemon cream is quite simple, but it will need your full attention through the whole (short) process so it's something I'd tackle after dinner. So, cook the sausages and brown the chicken.
3. Begin layering the flavors. Add the onions, cauliflower, spices. Then more spices, wine, tomato sauce. Add the chicken back to the pot along with rice and stock. Now it simmers for about 20 to 30 minutes.
4. If you're really anxious to get it done, or just a terrific multi-tasker, this could be a window to make the lemon cream if you'd really like to not wait until after dinner. If you want, now is your moment! Lemon cream it up!
5. Dinner is served! Then, later, a bowlful of creamy California sunshine for dessert. Sweet dreams.

Game Report 40: Wizards 107 76ers 99
THE GAME TURNED WHEN… The Wizards went on a 16-5 run to end the third quarter after the 76ers cut the Wiz lead to four. Into the fourth quarter, the run continued to 22-7 and a 19 point lead. The Wizards needed that big cushion because the bench would give most of it away later in the fourth.
THE GAME WAS OVER WHEN… 13-0 76ers run in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 100-92 before Marcin Gortat hit one free throw to put the Wiz up by 9 with 1:30 to play. Gortat then blocked a shot by Michael Carter-Williams — Gortat's 4th block of the game — to start a fast break. Bradley Beal drew a foul in the lane and made both free throws to put the Wiz up 103-92 with 1:14 left. The teams traded points from that point on, with the Sixers hitting a few shots and the Wiz having to get their points from the charity stripe because they couldn't score any other way.
THE GOOD… The Wizards had a team-high 12 blocks. Marcin Gortat led the way with 4, but six other players had at least one.
Washington dominated the glass 53-44, with every starter grabbing at least 5 off the boards.
The Wizards displayed a lot of good passing until the starters went out in the fourth quarter. Washington had 25 assists on 37 made baskets. with Beal, John Wall, and Trevor Ariza doing the best work.
Washington hit 80% of their free throws, part of a recent run of good shooting at the line.
THE BAD… The offense completely fell apart in the fourth quarter once the starters left the game. Jan Vesely scored on a put-back with 8:21 left in the game. The Wizards would not get another bucket until Trevor Ariza slipped behind Philly's trapping defense and got a dunk with 19 seconds left. That's right, the Wizards went almost 8 minutes of the fourth quarter without hitting a single shot from the field. And they still won. That's bad for Washington, but far, far worse for the Sixers.
THE UGLY… You might think the bench was a good point for the Wiz because they outscored the 76ers bench 30-20. However, nobody who watched Washington's bench collapse in the fourth quarter would come to that conclusion. Washington couldn't hit a shot, couldn't stop the Sixers and couldn't stop turning the ball over and they allowed the Sixers to crawl back from a 19-point deficit to make it a real game. Coach Randy Wittman was forced to put his starters back in the game and they were predictably rusty, having gone to the pine thinking their day was over.
THE STAR… Bradley Beal did a bit of everything tonight, leading the team in scoring [22 points on 8-15 shooting], assists [8] and second in rebounds [9].
THE STUDS… Marcin Gortat gave you just about everything you could want from a big man. He scored 19 points on 7-11 shooting, he dominated the boards with a team-high 11 rebounds and he played terrific defense, blocking four shots. He badly outplayed Spencer Hawes of Philly, who missed 10 of his 15 shots and didn't do nearly as well protecting the rim.
If you could say something nice about one member of the bench it would be Kevin Seraphin, who came out of nowhere to score 16 points on 6-10 shooting and grabbed 7 rebounds. Amazingly, he made all four of his free throw attempts. He still collected 5 fouls in 23 minutes — nothing new there — but he gave Washington a lift most of the time he was on the floor.
THE DUDS… Washington's starting forwards, Nene Hilario and Trevor Ariza, combined to shoot 5-17, with 20 points, 12 rebounds and 7 dimes. Not terrible, but the game wouldn't have been put away earlier if the forwards had played better. Garrett Temple, Otto Porter, Martell Webster and Chris Singleton collaborated on the bench collapse in the fourth quarter.
THE BENCHWARMERS… At least Eric Maynor can't be blamed for the bench problems since he never got off it. Trevor Booker missed the game due to injury.
THE QUOTES… "It's not a magical thing, all of a sudden fairy dust is going to fall on us if we get over .500, we're not going to lose another game." – Randy Wittman
"Those guys got to learn. Guys that want to play or think they should be in rotations better show me out there where it counts. That's the bottom line. You're always on audition. You got to be ready to play each and every day. I've been in this league for 30 years and I've seen some wild things where you think a game is over. It's not over. Maybe that's a good thing for our guys.
"I think our guys thought when we got up 21 there that the game was over. We're throwing half-court alley-oop passes that are going into the upper deck, turning and throwing (the ball) to the other team. … When you're called upon that's an audition each and every time especially if you're not getting a lot of minutes. We're in this stretch in January where I don't have a lot of practice time where I can watch you compete. You got to use that time." — Randy Wittman
AND WHAT IT ALL MEANS… Well, the Wiz are back to .500 again at 20-20. Can they finally get over the hump? Martell Webster was encouraging teammates to refuse to talk about that issue in the locker room after the game. However, it's a legitimate issue. It's not just about handling prosperity, it's also about finishing in the top four in the conference and thus hosting a playoff series, probably against the Atlanta Hawks. And it's about getting on a good run, winning a bunch of games in a row. The good teams are capable of doing that. Washington's inability to string together a bunch of wins in a row is a pretty obvious sign that they are not a good team… yet.

Kasimov takes charge of Uzbekistan
Mirjalol Kasimov will take over the reins as head coach of Uzbekistan after Vadim Abramov resigned from the post following Friday's 1-0 World Cup qualifying loss to Iran.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The role is, however, not unfamiliar to Kasimov, who had a previous stint as head coach of Uzbekistan from 2009 to 2010, before leaving to join Uzbek giants Bunyodkor.
Kasimov will now have precious little time to prepare his new charges for Uzbekistan's next World Cup qualifying game against Lebanon on Friday.
The depature of Abramov has shocked many after he enjoyed a relatively successful spell with Uzbekistan, leading them to a fourth-place finish in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup - their best ever position in the tournament - as well as to top spot in their group in the third round of World Cup qualifiers.
Uzbekistan will have to contend with Iran, Lebanon, Qatar and traditional powerhouses Korea Republic in their bid to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

On Baseball
8:23 PM CDT, April 8, 2013
Watching the Cubs' annual opening exercise at Wrigley Field, an event lessened by Chicago politics and low expectations, there was plenty of time to wonder about a question that applies on both sides of town: WWBVD.
What would Bill Veeck do?
I'm sure he would have done everything he could to keep Wrigley viable, as Tom Ricketts is doing. But I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have taken his business into the best seats in the house, as Ricketts did. Ricketts sat a few rows behind his invited guests, Ald. Tom Tunney and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, in the early innings, theoretically with renovation talks not adjourned for long.
Veeck probably wouldn't have traded Tony Campana in spring training, either. You never know when you might need a pinch walk.
And I definitely don't think he would have signed a guy to a $52 million contract after he had bounced between seven teams, compiling a 70-71 record. But then again, this is a much more complex world we live in than the one in which Veeck suggested ivy for the Wrigley walls and fireworks for the Comiskey Park scoreboard.
Veeck relied on a terrific sense of humor when the going got tough. He would have needed it in the first couple of innings Monday.
Edwin Jackson put the Cubs in a 5-0 hole in a game they would lose 7-4 to the Brewers, with a change of direction by the powerful wind stopping Starlin Castro's drive to right field at the warning track in the ninth inning. The bases were loaded, naturally.
With all of the familiar icons (Ernie Banks, Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins) assembled in the crowd of 40,083, there was no magic for the home team, which did not lose for a lack of intentional walks. Dale Sveum ordered them up in the first, fourth and seventh innings, and never got burned.
Will the Cubs get burned by the Jackson signing?
It's way too early to know that, but his first two starts have kept his appeal a mystery to those who were surprised at the length to which President Theo Epstein went to get him. He's 0-2 with a 5.73 earned-run average after starts against the Brewers and the Pirates.
This follows a spring in which he worked 24 innings and had a 5.25 ERA. But Sveum said he is not alarmed.
"He pitched a pretty good ballgame in Pittsburgh,'' Sveum said. "Today there was a wind-blown popup to right field with the bases loaded. It was a heck of a game he pitched.''
Jackson wasn't as forgiving of his performance. He acknowledged that the "wind-blown popup'' that Sveum spoke about would not have produced three runs if it hadn't followed back-to-back walks, the second of which forced in the first run for a Brewers team that had gone 1-5 to start the season.
With two outs and two on in the first, Jackson got Jonathan Lucroy to a 2-2 count, but Lucroy fouled off two-strike pitches three times and worked a walk, loading the bases. He walked Alex Gonzalez on a 3-2 pitch, forcing in one run, before Martin Maldonado lifted a soft fly that was carried into the right-field corner by winds that were 24 mph at game time.
"I feel like I put myself in position to be a pitch away,'' Jackson said. "I didn't execute the pitch. The Lucroy at-bat, I had two strikes on him and couldn't put him away. That allowed them to get away.''
One good thing about the Jackson contract — the Cubs didn't give up two good pitching prospects (Daniel Hudson and David Holmberg) to get him, as the White Sox did three years ago. Epstein took a financial gamble in part because he hopes not to have to trade kids for arms in two or three years, when he foresees the stakes being raised.
Whether the 29-year-old Jackson holds up until then is the question. He has been more durable than successful (4.40 career ERA, 30-plus starts six years in a row). He's a No. 2 starter this season but figures to be a No. 4 a couple of years from now, assuming Epstein succeeds in turning around his pitching staff. He'll enjoy the financial security but not always the ride.
That's going to be bumpy for everyone around Wrigley Field the next couple of seasons, with or without a giant video board, a few more night games and concerts.
Veeck would have loved it all, I think.
As for the baseball itself, I suspect he'd hope for a warm summer and tanning room in the bleachers. Don't we all?
